If your meals are well balanced you will use the available nutrients first, This is why pre/post workout nutrition is important. It is also why some say to do cardio when in a fasted state. You will use the food eaten as energy first, when these energy stores are depleted is when you will burn stored energy/fat, if you have no available fuel the body will burn it's stores either fat or muscle. When working out (weight lifting) you would use good nutition for fuel , your body can/will burn fat for energy but it is like comparing low octane gas to high octane.
